In summer months sunlight comes with an unwanted side order of heat. Now, researchers have developed windows that can change color automatically when heated by sunlight, to keep buildings cool – and to top it off, they’re solar panels as well.

The latest ultra-rugged Australian camper trailer, the Offtrax trailer, tows to camp as a simple, compact box. Upon arrival, it slides, rises and drops into a complete base camp for two people, with outdoor wet bathroom and two grills.

By observing a barn owl in flight as it contended with strong winds, scientists have discovered how its wings can act as a suspension system to absorb the forces in mid-air, lessons they hope to apply to the development of small-scale aircraft.

Austrian bikes have always been world-class and prior to WW2, the Puch name was the pride of Austrian mobility. One bike in particular has emerged as an auction block star with its outstanding engineering and exceptional rarity: the Puch 800 V-four.

The face of the Earth has changed drastically over its life, with plates shifting and sinking. Now geologists claim to have found the remains of an ancient tectonic plate beneath Canada, which was pushed under the surface millions of years ago.

A new Texan startup has announced its first electric motorcycle. The awkwardly named Volcon Grunt is a fat-wheeled off-roader with a 100-mile range, and it'll soon be followed by a pair of side-by-side four-wheelers built for practicality and fun.

A new research project at the University of Twente could be of great use to anti-poaching efforts, by mixing motion sensors with machine learning to recognize when wildlife is responding to a nearby threat.

Researchers have developed a new white paint that can reflect over 95 percent of sunlight, which can cool the surface even lower than the ambient temperature. Painted on a building, the new paint could help cut cooling costs and energy use.

LG's huge rollable TV is finally about to hit the market after two years. The LG Signature OLED R has a screen that can be rolled away in its base, plus it packs all the visual bells and whistles you’d expect from a TV that costs as much as a Tesla.

Boeing has been awarded a US$30-million contract to develop a supersonic ramjet missile in cooperation with the US Navy. The SPEAR flight demonstrator will help determine technical requirements for future missiles to defend Navy carriers.

As a storage solution for renewable energy, scientists see great potential in what are known as redox flow batteries. A new design from Linköping University is a decidedly green version of this, being the first made from all-natural materials.

Perhaps we spoke a tad too soon. Adobe has extended the AI-enhanced capabilities of its Photoshop image editing software to include instant sky replacement, some super-easy selection tools and some early Neural Filters, including emotion editing.
